The Challenge of Simple

In my artist statement I state that I love simple, but I tend to overcomplicate. I've been studying minimalism in the hope of creating minimalist work that has the simplicity and graphic impact that I crave, but at the same time is interesting and unique. It's been a challenge for me for sure. Simple is hard!I spent my evenings this week cutting and pasting with my favorite material...craft foam. I think I might have the start of a series I'll be happy with. I love black and white. I want to stay with that for now and add a bit of color when necessary. It might be fun to work in a series too. I think working on these will be a blast. I'd like to control myself and work small, but knowing me that's not going to happen. Stay tuned.

There is nothing simple about simple. I also consider myself a minimalist, but it is so hard to be taken seriously. Your work inspires me and I can't wait until you post the next photo. When I was very young my Dad gave me a nice compass set and I quickly learned that with a compass set and a ruler anything is possible.

You are my inspiration! I am impressed to know that you struggle to find your designs...here I thought it came easy for you. I took you improv class on Craftsy and found it very exciting. These designs are all wonderful.
